But Roz Foyer, general secretary of the Scottish Trades Union Congress, said she did not agree with the Supreme Court's ruling, and questioned which facilities trans people should use.

Paul Novak, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, said the government was right to close this "loophole".

But Paul Nowak, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, said: "Every time the minimum wage goes up there are some voices who predict this will drive up unemployment. Every time they are wrong."
